Method 5 steps
Mix oats and water, then bring to the boil, covered with a lid.
Once bubbling, stir and reduce temperature to the lowest possible to maintain simmering. Replace lid and watch carefully to prevent boiling over.
Stir every minute or so. After five minutes, remove lid, stir thoroughly and add milk.
Mix through, and keep stirring until fully mixed.
Serve and add raisins, sugar, brown sugar, maple syrup, a pinch of salt, honey or inverted sugar syrup to taste.
